We’re excited to share AAAA’s new logo and refreshed look! Our brand is an essential element of Quad-A’s vision as we continue to elevate the partnership and membership experience. In rebranding, we prioritized preserving the strong foundation established by our founder, Mr. LeCount R Davis, Sr., ensuring that the integrity of our organization remains intact. While we retained the iconic four letters that represent our premier organization, we focused on enhancing the logo and website’s shape, color, and overall aesthetic to reflect our growth and future goals. Standing on the shoulders of industry leaders like Mr. Davis, we are honored to be known as “Quad-A” and are committed to carrying forward his legacy. “As we elevate the look and feel of AAAA, we stand on the precipice of a bold new chapter, honoring the legacy of our founder, Mr. LeCount Davis, by retaining the strong foundation he built. Known with pride as QUAD-A, we continue to build on his vision, strengthening our partnership and membership experience.” - Sheena Gray, CEO Stay connected for more updates as we move forward with this bold new chapter!
